Very interesting to see that NW now wants foreigners.....
My application has been e-mailed, personally handed in and that took place more than a year ago : NO REPLY/ answer to date ......!!! I am from this country, have enough airline experience, jet time is low though, but why should pilots fork out R150,000 for an outdated B737 rating, when the company "overcharges" for such ??? And then get slaughtered on low pay ??? You can do the rating at Comair for R 120,000 !!!A B744 rating will cost you $ 22,000.... look for overseas places to find it.
Why not work outside these borders at dubble what can be earned here. If I can survive on external freelance work, earning in excess of R50,000 per month AND tax free seeing time outside exceeds the 183 tax limiting days, well.........
